Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsWe rented bikes, 10 dollars, and went to Manzanillo. However bikes were off poor quality. Tire was pretty flat and chain got lose halfway our ride. We slept there for two nights. Cleaning was done on the second day; cleaning ladies left door open during cleaning and insects got in. Not a big problem. Unnecessary to clean complete apartment every day if stay is only for 2 nights.
The bungalow was modern with a large bed and good working AC. Very comfortable, good beds. Parking available on the property. Howler monkeys and agoutis can be seen in the garden.

IrelandThis might have been my own misunderstanding, but there was no kitchen in the bungalow - just a fridge and coffee machine. We used the shared kitchen though which was lovely.
The location of Jaguar Inn was perfect for us. A two minute walk to amazing beaches, near a gorgeous restaurant and slightly outside of the noisy town centre. We rented bikes for $5 a day and enjoyed cycling around. The bungalow was spacious and the shared kitchen was well stocked.

United KingdomThere wasn't much not to like in the Bungalow. The howler monkeys were a bit noisy, but that added to the experience.
The location. Being so close to nature and the beach was ideal. We arrived by car in the dark and were met by a lovely worker who escorted us through the gate and to the bungalow. He even guided us back to the centre after we got lost finding our way back after being out for a meal. Seeing the monkeys in the wild swinging through the trees in the morning was fantastic. The garden grounds were really well maintained. The poison dart frogs certainly liked them. There was loads of space on the nearby beautiful narrow sandy beaches to feel alone. The bungalow was well equipped with everything needed for a mix of self catering and going out for meals. The ceiling fan was surprisingly efficient at keeping us cool indoors. Comfy bed too!

Costa RicaThe announcement do not indicate that this two bungalows are part of the Jaguar Inn Hostel. So I feel cheated, since I was not looking for accommodation in a hostel. Communication with the place was terrible. I was never contacted in advance to provide a clear location of the place. when I managed to understand that it was inside/part of the hostel. I did not find any reception area or any manager to help me with my check-in. I had to search throughout the property for someone from the staff to help me. This one just showed me my room and charged me for the accommodation. Likewise, there was no one with whom to perform or notify the check out. The place is not exactly what is shown in the photographs. The pictures of the place show angles of the room that make you believe that the place is finer than it really is. the room is not completely closed it has mosquito grilles on the top of the walls. It only has one fan that does not generate enough air for the entire room and is not even well centered to provide air to the beds. There are slits on the windows and no mosquito nets, so mosquitoes easily enter the room. really what I found is not what is promoted
Location is good, the cocles beach is very close walking, however is one of the worst areas to access the beach The place if very quiet and animals sound is very strong in the early hour of the morning
